The AFN Star Wars Cantina Social Thread

Come on in, pull up a chair and order a Blue Milk or a Corellian Ale.

A great place to introduce yourself, chat with other Star Wars fans and find out how the weather is across Canada.

Re: The AFN Star Wars Cantina Social Thread

Su'cuy! (Hi in Mando'a)

Let me start off by telling you a little about myself. My names Rob(imus) and I've been involved pretty heavily in action figure collection since around 1995.

Star Wars was always my first love and in addition to collecting the toys I also have read almost every Expanded Universe(EU for short) novel ever written, many multiple times. Comics as well to a lesser extent as well.

Yeah, I knew who Fenn Shysa was way before he got an action figure

I've been a long time toy dealer at the local conventions around Winnipeg, and eagerly look forward to the Central Canada Comic Convention every year(formerly the Manitoba Comic Convention).

The MBCC has allowed me too meet many of the actors who portrayed characters I enjoy in the Star Wars films, most notably Dave Prowse(Darth Vader) and Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett).

Welcome to the site and please take your time having a look around. May the Force be with you all!

Oya! (Lets roll in Mando'a)

Re: The AFN Star Wars Cantina Social Thread

So did anyone catch Clone Wars Lair of General Grievous this weekend? It should be back on the CTV, but I didn't notice it last night......

Re: The AFN Star Wars Cantina Social Thread

Coruscant Nights: Patterns of the Force was officially released today. I'll be picking it up in the next couple weeks.

Jax Pavan vs Darth Vader sounds cool if not a little one sided....Maybe I-5 can help

Re: The AFN Star Wars Cantina Social Thread

I'm SPLIT LIP, some of you already know or recognize me from TFW and all it's little babies like Cyb.ca and TOYARK. Hell, I even stop by HISSTANK now and again. I love TFs, LEGO BIONICLE, LEGO SW and regualr SW figs loosely in that order. I watch shows like TF:A, SW:CW an the new KR series. I'm also pro-acronyms. (at least ones that make sense) I play on the xboxes and usually paly Halo 3, Half-life 2 and it's Episodes and SW: Force Unleashed.

Also, to Robimus: I don't watch the Clone Wars on TV anymore since they delayed it for like 5 episodes, I use torrents so I usually catch it about half an hour after it airs in the US. The series is freaking awesome and Lair of Grievous was cool.

Re: The AFN Star Wars Cantina Social Thread

I got up to episode 14 online as well, but now I'm gonna wait for the CTV to catch up. Watching on my smallish computer monitor isn't all that nice.

And welcome SPLIT LIP! Glad to see ya over this way.

I saw it wicked episode. Wish ya saw grievous's face under the mask ( know what it looks like but I wanted see it on screen :P)

My brother was beside himself since Kitt Fisto is his favourite Jedi along with Plo Koon which is why I like this series, give you more story for these cool characters introduced in the prequels that didn't get enough screen time. Phil LaMarr voicing him was just the icing on the cake

If anyone hasn't seen all four Spike TV adds for Star Wars they are worth a look.

Ray Park will be attending the Calgary Expo April 25th and 26th........hmmmnnnn, strange to have two major Canadian Conventions on the same weekend(TFCon as well that weekend). What are the odds?
